When you grow up in a city, and are involved in the life of the city, the chances of having connections to others are infinite. Ben’s parents are a perfect example: they are best friends with the next door neighbors of one of our little girl’s best friends from preschool. Did you follow that? I know, crazy. Thankfully, little Ben is still blissfully unaware of the complexities of life. He has a small, lovely little world, full of people who adore him. That was amazingly evident the afternoon that I spent in his home. His parents were so soft with him, ready to meet his little needs, and I went away once again thinking how perfect my job is. I get to photograph the most intimate moments in people’s lives, like welcoming a child into the world. And though he will grow up into a little boy who finds out all of the ins and outs of how that world moves along for now, he is just Baby Ben.
